Introducing ✨Friday Fic Recs✨

The Ladies of HP fest/server is happy to announce weekly fic recs from now until next year's fest. Every Friday, we will highlight 5-10 female-centric fics! This week, the recs come from your mods, @celestemagnoliathewriter, @artemisia-black, and @merlins-sequined-hotpants.

Going forward, we would love to receive recs in the ask box or in the rec channel on our Discord server. Almost any fic that is female-centric is welcome (exception: fics that feature explicit underage sexual content). We look forward to sharing more recs with you!

Fic Recs for Friday the 13th of October, including part of the summary from the author:

We've Grown Up (but still haven't changed) by @thecasualauthor18. Leading ladies: Black sisters, Andromeda POV. T, 2.2k words. Summary: Andromeda Black Tonks receives a letter from Narcissa, and against her better judgement goes to meet her.

Parvati by @sleepstxtic. Leading lady: Parvati Patil. G, 634 words. Summary: “Like you and appa?” you ask, propping yourself up on the kitchen counter and crossing your legs in anticipation. Your mother’s stories are always the best.

In the Service of Others by @bellmel. Leading lady: Molly Weasley. G, 4.7k words. Molly is not one to sit idle. It isn’t in her nature. She likes being busy, and as the last of her children leave for Hogwarts, Molly never even entertains the idea of staying at home with no company but her own. She needs a job.

Ariadne by @ashesandhackles. Leading lady: Cho Chang. G, 1.1k words. Summary: Exploring Cho's feelings for Harry in wake of her grief for Cedric's death, with symbolism from myth of Ariadne, Theseus and the Minotaur. A surrealistic character study.

Standing Up by @isidar-mithrim. Leading lady: Minerva McGonagall. G, 4.9k words. Summary: Minerva is powerless in front of Carrows’ tortures, painfully aware there’s only one way to protect her students: don’t protect them. It will be her own students to prove her that hope isn’t lost yet.

stolen glances, stolen cauldrons by @lanaturnergetup. Leading lady: Madam Rosmerta. M, 3k words. Summary: As with most bad experiences in her life, Madam Rosmerta would find that her affair with Mundungus ‘Dung’ Fletcher started out with too much to drink.

Me at age 82 (in 2077) curating the Bethesda Museum's Fallout exhibit

Hello children, and oh, you're mostly adults...and welcome to the Bethesda museum's Fallout Exhibition. Here you can see Todd Howard's beloved Gambryo engine, starting with Fallout 3, he modified the original engine, writing over the code in his own sweat and blood, then asked a transcriber to whip it up in C++ for him. He lovingly poked and prodded the Gambryo engine to do what he desired, and kept doing so long after the embryo had hatched. He had, strange desires with the engine sometimes. As it grew, we grew to love the engine's slightly silly yet charming features and bugs, and like that, bugs became features and didn't need to be patched anymore. Like Theseus' ship, the original Gambryo engine's traits kept getting patches and new material added to fight the holes that sprang up wherever Todd's blood code replaced it. By the end of the voyage they were still sailing the same vessel into Fallout 14's harbour but every single part had been replaced which brings the question, can he sell it as a new engi-, I mean boat? By the Fallout 4 days, we had the Creation Engine, which you may think implies a new engine, but it kind of wasn't. Sure they'd tacked Minecraft in to make Player Homes useful for the first time in the series, and allows you to grow crops and build communities and supply routes. The ridiculous gun mods possible, as well as the cover mechanic in combat gave us The engine had been overhauled for the next generation of consoles, and they thought we wouldn't notice if they 'reused' some of the previous engine's code to keep up with their short development cycle between games. But we did notice that it still held enough of the charm and soul of the earlier titles that it had to contain at least part of that original engine, and it didn't take a sharp eye to notice, not that complaints regarding them mattered. The graphics were nicer, the locations more varied and three dimensional, but with that still came huge frame rate plunges, buggy quests, companions with an odd sense of pathfinding; a tradition almost, like the previous titles, all the way back to 1997, Fallout 1. It also came with the same goofy exploding characters and awful top down map which you could never reproduce even with the original code right beside you as it is so unusable. Those original bugs that Todd grew too attached to, would never be removed from the series. To go from the past to the future, here we have a PS14 with Fallout 11, Bethesda's newest Creation Engine game in the most popular serie############and then the nukes hit. Every manifestation of the Fallout series is forever destroyed, never to be seen in its charming, goofy manner again.
